Coleman–Weinberg potential

The Coleman–Weinberg model represents quantum electrodynamics of a scalar field in four-dimensions. The Lagrangian for the model is
L = -\frac (F_)^2 + (D_ \phi)^2 - m^2 \phi^2 - \frac \phi^4
where the scalar field is complex, F_=\partial_\mu A_\nu-\partial_\nu A_\mu is the electromagnetic field tensor, and D_=\partial_\mu-(e/\hbar c)A_\mu the covariant derivative containing the electric charge e of the electromagnetic field.
Assume that \lambda is nonnegative. Then if the mass term is tachyonic, m^2<0 there is a spontaneous breaking of the gauge symmetry at low energies, a variant of the Higgs mechanism. On the other hand if the squared mass is positive, m^2>0 the vacuum expectation of the field \phi is zero. At the classical level the latter is true also if m^2=0 However as was shown by Sidney Coleman and Erick Weinberg even if the renormalized mass is zero spontaneous symmetry breaking still happens due to the radiative corrections (this introduces a mass scale into a classically conformal theory - model have a conformal anomaly).
The same can happen in other gauge theories. In the broken phase the fluctuations of the scalar field \phi will manifest themselves as a naturally light Higgs boson, as a matter of fact even too light to explain the electroweak symmetry breaking in the minimal model - much lighter than vector bosons. There are non-minimal models that give a more realistic scenarios. Also the variations of this mechanism were proposed for the hypothetical spontaneously broken symmetries including supersymmetry.
Equivalently one may say that the model possesses a first-order phase transition as a function of m^2. The model is the four-dimensional analog of the three-dimensional Ginzburg–Landau theory used to explain the properties of superconductors near the phase transition.
The three-dimensional version of the Coleman–Weinberg model governs the superconducting phase transition which can be both first- and second-order, depending on the ratio of the Ginzburg–Landau parameter \kappa\equiv\lambda/e^2, with a tricritical point near \kappa=1/\sqrt 2 which separates type I from type II superconductivity.
Historically, the order of the superconducting phase transition was debated for a long time since the temperature
interval where fluctuations are large (Ginzburg interval) is extremely small.
The question was finally settled
in 1982.〔
〕 If the Ginzburg-Landau parameter \kappa that distinguishes type-I and
type-II superconductors (see also here)
is large enough, vortex fluctuations
becomes important
which drive the transition to second order.
The tricitical point lies at
roughly
\kappa=0.76/\sqrt, i.e., slightly below the value \kappa=1/\sqrt
where type-I goes over into type-II superconductor.
The prediction was confirmed in 2002 by Monte Carlo computer simulations.〔
